As a long time resident of North Laguna, can someone explain to me the city’s position on the removal of the excessive kelp build up on Main Beach?

As a place that prides itself on being a tourist destination, it seems to me that having over half of the city’s central beach covered with piles of decaying seaweed is inconsistent with that objective.

Are we so “environmentally sensitive” now that one of our primary attractions is being allowed to go back to its “natural state?”
